The prices above were recorded during the six months to 31 January 2019.

Dunedin is a university city and the cost of accommodation in some areas will be affected by the large student population.

Figures from Trade Me Property for January 2019 showed that the average (median) rent for a three / four bedroomed property in New Zealand, excluding Auckland, was $480 per week and for a one / two bedroomed property was $350 per week.

From the selection displayed, the Tenancy Services Division figures show that in Dunedin one of the most expensive average rents for a two bedroomed house is in University / Maori Hill costing $360 per week. The cheapest is in Caversham costing $285 per week.

For a three bedroomed house in Dunedin the most expensive average rent is in University / Maori Hill costing $450 per week. The cheapest is in Ravenbourne / Mt Mera / Port Chalmers costing $350 per week.

• Cheaper: One-quarter of properties rent for less than this price. • Average: This is the median price • Dearer: One-quarter of properties rent for more than this price.

Properties are often let from January for 12 months, hence there is often an increase in rents at the beginning of the year. The data shows market rents for non-government owned properties for which Tenancy Services holds information. Any category that has less than five bonds lodged has been excluded, to prevent individual properties being identified.

Hi thanks for providing this surface it is very helpful. I’m planning to go to Otago Uni in 2014 so wanting to flat near uni campus.
